News for Next Week

Next week is achievement test week, and there are a few things to remember so my students will score well on their tests:


  • Be sure and get a good night's sleep. This makes a world of difference!

  • Have something healthy to eat for breakfast.

  • Bring healthy snacks for snack time. We will have this snack time each morning during the test.

  • Make sure your child has plenty of #2 pencils for the test.

  • Please try and make sure your child is not absent during the mornings next week.

Also, Miss Patchan has asked that each student send in $4.00 by this Monday so her music students can make a didgeridoo (which is an Australian Aboriginal instrument).


Thanks so much for being such wonderful parents!

Pam Alexander

It was great listening to Mrs. Alexander and having her sign her work for us!

Pam Alexander was Wonderful!

We enjoyed hearing all about Georgia from this entertaining author today! I have pictures I will post later, but your child has an order form if you are interested in ordering anything from this Georgia author. Mrs. Alexander will drop by the school tomorrow and sign any books bought tomorrow.

After her presentation, she will autograph any books purchased tomorrow. Your child was given an order form today. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet a real, published author!
